Two Melbourne skinheads have been jailed for brutally bashing a Vietnamese student before breaking a brick over his head, leaving him "unrecognisable as a human being".
The Vietnamese student had been listening to music while walking home from his job at a 7-Eleven store in Ascot Vale, in Melbourne's northwest, when he was attacked by Shannon Hudson, 21, Wayne O'Brien, 20, and a teenager who cannot be named.
They knocked him to the ground, calling him a "yellow dog" and "f***ing gook" while repeatedly stabbing, kicking and punching his head and body.
Once the victim was unconscious, Hudson broke a brick over his head.
Hudson, of Ascot Vale, was jailed for 10-and-a-half years on Wednesday, over what Justice Betty King described as an appalling, depraved attack.
She said photographs showed the victim had been left looking "almost unrecognisable as a human being".
O'Brien, who was staying with Hudson in Ascot Vale at the time, was jailed for four-and-a-half years over the June 27 attack.
The third offender has been dealt with in the children's court.
